Post Surgery Nutrition
What we offer
Post-surgery nutrition plays a key role in recovery after surgery or injury, as the body depends on adequate protein, energy, and specific micronutrients to rapidly repair damaged tissue, effectively control inflammation, and vigorously support immune function. Dietary planning during this phase focuses on actively restoring strength, preventing muscle loss, and supporting overall healing.
Who is it recommended for?
- Individuals recovering from major or minor surgery
- Patients healing from injuries, fractures, or orthopedic procedures
- Those dealing with post-operative fatigue, poor appetite, or slow healing
- Individuals at risk of nutrient deficiencies impacting recovery
Key Features – The Program Includes:
- Fortnightly nutrition consultations
- Weekly check-ins to track progress

What will they achieve?
- Faster wound healing and reduced post-surgery inflammation
- Improved energy levels and quicker return to daily activities
- Stronger immunity to prevent infections and complications
- Better appetite and nutrient absorption during recovery
- Gradual restoration of mobility and physical strength
These symptoms often overlap with non-cancerous GI conditions but should not be ignored especially if they persist or worsen.

Why is protein the single most vital nutrient for recovery after surgery?
Protein is the building block for all tissues, including skin, muscle, and organs. A significant increase in protein intake after an operation is absolutely non-negotiable for wound healing and maintaining muscle mass that is often compromised during periods of stress and inactivity.
How does a post-surgery diet prevent significant muscle loss?
Preventing muscle loss (sarcopenia) requires a highly targeted approach combining sufficient high-quality protein with the correct caloric intake. A specialized diet ensures the body has the energy to repair tissue without resorting to breaking down muscle for fuel.
What foods or supplements should I prioritize for inflammation control post-operation?
Focus on foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (like fish oil), Zinc, and Vitamin C. These are powerful anti-inflammatories that help manage the body’s natural response to trauma, contributing directly to a more comfortable and swift recovery period.
